Blog 1: A enjoyable shopping experience

Zongxi Huang

Today, we discussed about the ideas and concept designs that would be utilized in the innovating the shopping cart. While my teamates explored the possibility of motion capture, I made several plans on improving and adapting the surrounding environment in order to better incorporate the fun elements in the shopping experience. First and foremost, I designed retractable compartments where all the products are stored. These can be elevated when a customer desires something inside the compartment. I also rearranged the positions of different areas. Notably the playground area  was repositioned in the center while the shopping area was located around the playground. Finally, the entire structure of the market would be made of glass. During today's sketching process, we had difficulty in finding information about more advanced technological concepts and we had trouble finding more ideas. Nevertheless, through our efforts, we succeded in improving our design and overcoming our shortcoming. Next period, we plan to start building a mockup of our concept.
